There are worries in Malaysia and neighbouring Thailand that disastrous flooding could get worse as more rain comes.

With more than 140,000 displaced and six lives lost, families question the government’s decision not to postpone the key exams.

Floods in northern Malaysia and southern Thailand have claimed the lives of at least 12 people, and 135,000 individuals have been forced to leave their homes. Authorities warn that the number of casualties may increase.
